OK, I guess it's put-up or shut-up time.
I've put a couple of tracks on www.folderol.ukfsn.org They are quite
different to what I've seen on here. I hope you like them.
I'll put more on when either I get a decent soundcard or can change the
instruments to use ZynAddSubFX voices.

Thanks for sharing, I really liked them. They brought to mind early JMJ.
The percussion in The Crystal Ship could possibly be described as
sounding "cheesy" (but then so was Jarre's!) but it seems to me to fit
the music perfectly. I think more "natural" sounding percussion might
sound a little too harsh and wouldn't sit in the arrangement nearly as well.

Thanks for your comments. It's interesting that you mention Jarre. He
was one of my favourite synth composers in the early days - seems to
have faded from mainstream view now though :-/
I did warn you about my use of percussion :)

Ohhhh, they're nice. Reflections is great, and Crystal has that
brilliant tongue-in-cheek sound.
I really like the instruments, but personally I'd like to hear parts
in something a little harsher. They all sound so clean and glassy,
sometimes they blend a little too well.
And, since you asked for suggestions, have you ever heard of Tipper?
I'm thinking of the Critical Path album. His beats are beautiful and
something along those lines would really suit this music.
The usual disclaimer, of course: This is all just my opinion.
I feel kinda bad about saying any of this, because I really like these
tracks. But, I personally crave feedback and suggestions, so I try
and give people what I would want.

I hadn't heard of Tipper, but went on to the website and had a listen
to the sample tracks. I see what you mean. Far more complex patterns
than I could possible hope to manage, but the style would indeed fit
well.

The first one "Reflections" sounded like a soundtrack to some RPG game. I keep
thinking its going to explode and become like a heavy action scene. Its
kind of ambient or environmental in a way. That may be because of the
reverb. Don't get me wrong it is good for what it is. Every composition
has a time and a place where it useful. I see it as maybe a child
dreaming or some peacefully scene at the end of a RPG of sorts of
something.
The second piece "The Crystal Ship" kind of reminded me of something
Raymond Scott would do. http://raymondscott.com/
It is simple and has a bubbly commercial quality to it. It could be a
commercial jingle maybe.

That's an interesting thought. I tend to think of most of stuff as easy

when I do experiment with them, it still seems to come out sort of
laid-back :-/

I like simple tunes :) Something you can hum along to. Sadly these are
few and far between these days. I'm convinced that it was this, more
than anything else that made the early Beatles songs so popular.

However I think I'll stick to the original!

Hi Folderol. I too prefer your originals. I found them quite relaxing to
listen to, and makes a change to the Trance, Drum n Bass, etc, that I
normally listen to. Nigel.

I'm glad you like the contrast. I also like to listen to music that
isn't in my 'preferred' category. I find it makes refreshing change
and widens your horizons. In fact, I don't think there is any musical
style I cannot listen to at all.
I am very encouraged by all these comments, and have converted two
more pieces to use ZynAddSubFX and put them on my site
(www.folderol.ukfsn.org). These are Sleepy Hollow, and Night Wind.
I hope you like them.
